Players, managers and officials from across the Premier League have come together to read a poem in a moving tribute to the 1914 World War 1 Christmas Day truce.

Vincent Kompany, Charlie Austin and Morgan Schneiderlin, as well other top-name Premier League stars, each took turns to read sections of the Ian Macmillan's poem 'The Game: Christmas Day 1914'.

Earlier this month, football teams across the country from Premier League to non-league gathered for a pre-match photograph, where both teams stood in and amongst each other.

The poem is set to be posted alongside the 11,000 pre-match team photos that have been uploaded online.

The video, filmed for FootballRemembers.com, is part of the series of events and programmes by the Premier League, The Football Association, the Football League and the British Council, all in honour of the Great War.
